R help - Nov 2019 - Error while installing xml2 package in R

I am getting following error while installing xml2 package in R.

install.packages("xml2")

Error :  unable to load shared object
'/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-xml2/00new/xml2/libs/xml2.so':

  libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

it seems it require libconv library but installing libiconv-hook-dev does
nos solve the problem.
how such issue can be solved?

This may or may not fix your problem but I avoid installing R packages in system
libraries... using user libraries without running R as root or with sudo makes
life much simpler unless you are a professional sysadmin.
